Ok, I've tested a bit of the upgrade procedure of slapd. On my side it
seems to work,

Preparing to replace slapd 2.2.23-8 (using .../slapd_2.3.29-1_i386.deb) ...
Stopping OpenLDAP: slapd.
  Dumping to /var/backups/slapd-2.2.23-8:
  - directory dc=cacholong,dc=nl... done.
Unpacking replacement slapd ...
dpkg: warning - unable to delete old directory `/var/lib/ldap':
Directory not empty
[..]
Setting up slapd (2.3.29-1) ...
[..]
  Creating new user openldap... done.
  Backing up /etc/ldap/slapd.conf in /var/backups/slapd-2.2.23-8... done.
  Updating config access directives... done.
  Moving old database directories to /var/backups:
  - directory dc=cacholong,dc=nl... done.
  Loading from /var/backups/slapd-2.2.23-8:
  - directory dc=cacholong,dc=nl... done.
  - chowning database directory (openldap:openldap)... done
Starting OpenLDAP: slapd.

Can you give me some information on how you set up slapd ? A
configuration file would be nice. (especially the part of the replica
sections)
